1 of 246 – 1975 Ducati 900SS
Post Listing Update: This Ducati 900SS did not meet reserve despite 19 bids up to $65,700 on eBay in Miami, Florida.. Ducati offered the 900SS line between 1975 and 1982, and the first year models were the rarest as just 246 were produced. The ’75 bikes had the gear shifter on the right side, per the original design, and it …
Guess That Bike Revealed – NZ Museum Edition, Part 2
Congrats to yrrah, who was the first to determine that this museum bike is a Peugeot P515! He ended up removing his guess to keep things interesting, and clasqm was next on the draw (with a photo as evidence, to boot).

Guess That Bike – NZ Museum Edition, Part 2
Ted Clough is feeling pretty cocky after his last Guess That Bike post – and he should, considering it took the most guesses and hints of any GTB post on Bike-urious before Pip Bip figured it out. So he’s got another one for you – can you identify what motorcycle this exhaust belongs to?
January 2020 Result Highlights
Last month we saw some great bikes – but did they sell? And if so, for how much?
Video Intermission – RM ATV/MC $500 Challenge
My favorite challenges in the old Top Gear were the ones focused around what the presenters could buy for a small budget. They don’t really do that kind of thing any more, but the boys over at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC captured some of that same magic with a 6-episode series on YouTube about taking $500 dirt bikes on 5 Miles …
2004 BMW Rockster R1150R
The BMW Rockster was an interesting variant on their naked bike of the time, the R1150R. The Rockster was BMW’s take on a streetfighter of sorts, made by pulling together the headlight from a R1150GS, gauges from the R1100S, and throwing them onto the R1150R with a distinctive paint job.
$1 Million Asking Price – The Recidivist
Surely the asking price is for attention’s sake (and it’s worked in this case), but the real headline here is that this is claimed to be the “world’s first tattooed motorcycle”. That’s right: “light colored cow hide leather – similar to the color of human skin – is engineered onto the bike. Artists from professional tattoo studios applied traditional works …
SuperHawk – 2002 Honda VTR1000F
I think the SuperHawk is one of the most underappreciated motorcycles in recent memory. Honda reliability, streetable ergonomics, and a lovely V-Twin motor. Think RC51, but easier to live with.
Rare in the US – 1994 Kawasaki Estrella
Post Sale Update: This Estrella sold for $3,499. I know many of you are fans of the Kawasaki W650 – but did you know that Kawi made a little brother with a 249cc engine that was never officially sold in the US? The model debuted in 1992, and it was originally called Estrella (Spanish for “Star”). In 2017, it was …
